[339]-350) and index. 520 $a A retelling of the Black Hawk War that brings into focus the forces struggling for control over the American frontier. Until 1822, the Sauk Nation occupied one of North America's largest and most prosperous Indian settlements, the envy of white Americans who had already begun to encroach upon the rich Indian land. When the inevitable conflicts turned violent, the Sauks were forced into exile, banished forever from the east side of the Mississippi River. Black Hawk and his followers rose up in the spring of 1832 and defiantly crossed the Mississippi from Iowa to Illinois to reclaim their ancestral home. Though the war lasted only three months, no other violent encounter between white America and native peoples embodies so clearly the essence of the Republic's inner conflict between its belief in freedom and human rights and its insatiable appetite for new territory.--From publisher description. 600 00 $a Black Hawk, $c Sauk chief, $d 1767-1838. 650 0 $a Sauk Indians $x History. 650 0 $a Fox Indians $x History. 650 0 $a Black Hawk War, 1832. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050283-b.html $z Contributor biographical information 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050283-d.html $z Publisher description 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0643/2005050283-s.html $z Sample text 939 $a 5762163 941 $a 5 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013136.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214022658.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221004015737.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118014553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE7689F62B0E11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOZ 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
